1/ Last Friday, @MelindaPaveyMP gazetted 3 new floodplain harvesting regulations. One of which allows for the exemption of rainfall run off collection under the Water Management Act 2000

2/ Under this regulation, land holders can use tail water dams to capture rainfall run-off from an irrigated field without a licence, and use that water to irrigate.
3/ The problem is, once water is in a dam, there’s no way to distinguish whether it fell as rain on the property, or was captured from the floodplain.
It means large volumes of water can be captured without any monitoring or measurement. Sound familiar?
